Anyhow, the program was beautiful, inspiring and Blessing seemed to be surrounded by friends. It felt so normal and nice.
So, after 44 years of life, you would think I should have reached the "Happily Ever After." I found prince charming 20+ years ago and have succeeded in adding all our little princes and princesses through the miracle of adoption. However, I realized this week that instead of reaching that magical resting point in the story, that we have reached a new starting point.

A Special Normal Evening
Blessing and the whole second grade did wonderfully at the second grade patriotic program. Chloe, Theo, Grandma and I attended, while Kyle, Zach, Grandpa and Sophie attended Ben's choir concert. (Divide and conquer is the motto when you have 6 kids in 3 different schools - next year it will be 4 different school -yipes!)
Anyhow, the program was beautiful, inspiring and Blessing seemed to be surrounded by friends. It felt so normal and nice.
Afterwards, we all headed to the new local ice cream parlor to celebrate Ben and Blessing's success. Blessing ran into a friend there as well.
On the whole, a pretty simple evening, but it sits well in my heart and mind because even though we had to split up for a while, it felt like we were pretty unified as a family. It made me happy.
